Hello, and welcome to Implementing IP Multicast.
In this skill, we're finally going
to jump onto the command line and implement this multicast
that we've been talking about in all
these previous multicast skills.
Specifically, we're going to be looking at PIM sparse mode.
So our first step will be to enable PIM sparse mode
on the routers and on the appropriate interfaces.
And, of course, as we configure that,
we're also going to want to verify our PIM neighborships.
Then we have to configure the rendezvous point.
In this case, we're simply going to do a static RP
configuration.
We'll be looking at other options for the RP
in a future skill.
Then we're going to spend a little bit of time
examining IGMP, which is the protocol used
between the receiver and the last hop router,
so the last hop router knows which groups the client
is interested in receiving.
Once we do that, we will start up an actual receiver
so that it will build the shared tree or the star comma G tree.
We'll, of course, examine that tree,
see how it gets built to the rendezvous point,
and then we will fire up a source have that traffic make
it to the receiver.
And then we can examine the source tree or the shortest
path tree.
So, as you can see, we have a lot to configure and a lot
to look at.
Let's go ahead and jump in and get started.
I'll see you in the next video.
